Lettuce, almost blossoming
Lettuce ready to plant out. This is something you can do easily even if you have a small garden. I sow some lettuce seeds in a pot every two weeks. When seedlings are about an inch tall they are planted single in pots and later planted out in the garden. I plant them on places where other crops have grown and i don't add any new fertilizer or compost. Now it's just waiting to harvest them. In this way you can have fresh salad every day, with little effort and minimal costs.
